   Hi there,

   I have been trying to extend my main column width and decrease my sidebar width for some time now.

   I have attempted to edit the CSS, but everytime my sidebar drops to the bottom.

   Any ideas?

   I have no idea if you will return to this thread since I kind of doubt you know how to find your previous threads, so my answer here may fall on deaf ears.

   First off you have to decrease the width of the sidebar which is currently 300px. If you decrease it to 200px, that is a 100px reduction and you can only increase the width of the post section by that 100px amount. I took 100px off #sidebar (300 - 100 = 200) and added 100 to #main (620 + 100 = 720).

   #main {
   width:720px;
   }
   
   #sidebar {
   width:200px;
   }

   On the CSS edit page, add 100 to the value in the box for videos and pics below the CSS edit text area. That way your images will maximize to the main content area when you insert images at "full-size."
